Surveillance footage shows fake delivery man who shot woman with crossbow
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police in Canada have released surveillance video of a suspected hitman who posed as a delivery man and shot a woman in the chest with a crossbow concealed in a large box when she answered the door.
Peel Regional Police showed the footage Monday seeking leads in the unsolved five-month-old case.
“This was not a random act,” Supt. Heather Ramore said, according to CTVNews. “Comments that were made to the victim by the suspect indicate that the victim was targeted and that the suspect may have carried out the attack at the request of another individual.”
